The Foglands was announced back in February as a PSVR2 title. It's a rogue-lite FPS that looks pretty promising from what little has been shown so far. It finally has a launch date, releasing on 31st October 2023. And there's even better news — it no longer requires the headset.
Yes, you'll be able to play The Foglands in PSVR2 or, if you prefer, on your TV with PS5. Either way, the game's spooky action continues to look like solid fun in the new trailer above. Playing as a Runner, it's your job to fend off the creatures emerging from the Fog on ever-shifting runs. Between bouts, you'll acquire upgrades and boosts to make you a little bit stronger each time you return.
With new details on the PS Blog, it sounds like your typical rogue-lite adventure — you explore each stage and look for loot, fight baddies with a mix of shooting and melee, and upgrade yourself with new abilities. If executed well, it should be a lot of fun.
What do you think of The Foglands? Will you be playing it come Halloween? Tell us in the comments section below.

Doesn’t look good to me, but I’ve got to hand praise to the developer for making a VR title that doesn’t require a headset. As a non-VR gamer, there’s, I believe, three titles I’d have purchased if they had this option that I’ll likely never buy now.
Hybrid gaming is what we want from developers in the PSVR2 community. I support this 100%.
Always a good idea to make it available to non-VR as long as the game still works without motion controls. Wish there were more multiplayer games with this option too.
Not a fan of VR gaming. Will never be a fan of VR gaming. VR gaming to me, is like mobile gaming to a lot of other people. It's a novelty at best, and is too niche for me to spend the kind of money to have an enjoyable experience. Every time I try VR I just come out disappointed and disoriented. Not for me, but I think having VR games with a non VR mode is going to be crucial for devs going forward.
There are waaaaay more people that either don't like or don't care about VR than people who do. You want money from those people too you know?
As a huge fan of virtual reality, I've gotta say, this is a good thing. I do think that select VR games should be able to be played outside of VR.
Of course, something like Boneworks can't do flat screen because of how made-for-VR it is, but if it can be done, a game should at least have non-VR support.
With that being said, I do hope that VR becomes more accessible to more people in the future and that more companies just into the medium, since the biggest issue with VR today is the relatively small amount of titles, especially story-based titles.
Looks like Borderlands VR except without the loot and the world seems like Bioshock.
